About the book
I wake up bloody, bruised, and with no memory of who I am. The flicker of emergency lights tells me one thing—I am in serious trouble.
Before I can get my bearings, something moves in the shadows. The monster that emerges is huge, terrifying, and very much not human. He decides I am his responsibility, whether I like it or not.
Trapped together in an alien jungle with no common language, we survive through gestures, crude drawings, and an unexpected connection that burns hotter with every passing day. He wants to get me home. I just hope I can figure out where that is.
I may never recover my past, but with him, I might discover a future worth remembering.

Sora doesn’t know what to make of her new master. He is gentle, protective, and treats her as a cherished pet, not a slave. But when family schemes threaten them both, Searin must choose between duty and keeping Sora safe in a galaxy that prizes power over love.

Captive of the Horde King
Romance · Sci-Fi
Our take
Zoey Draven’s Captive of the Horde King (4.6 out of 5 stars on Amazon) delivers a steamy alien barbarian romance. To save her brother, a human woman becomes the war prize of a ruthless Dakkari horde king. But instead of a concubine, he wants a queen.

Choose your retailer
About the book
On the harsh planet of Dakkar, survival means following the rules and avoiding the wrath of the alien Dakkari. I kept my head down, worked for my family, and never broke their laws.
My brother was not so careful. One reckless mistake brought a horde of barbarian warriors to our door, led by their fearsome horde king. To save my brother’s life, I offered myself as his war prize. I would warm his furs, travel with his horde, and never see my family again.
But the cold, battle-scarred warrior has plans I never expected. He does not want a concubine. He wants a queen.
Now I must decide if I can survive—and thrive—by his side, or if loving him will cost me everything.

Our take
Tammy Walsh’s Owned by the Alien (4.4 out of 5 stars on Amazon) is a steamy, standalone alien romance. Abducted and bound for a breeding zoo, a human woman strikes a dangerous bargain with a powerful Titan captain. One night will save his life—but it might also make her his mate for eternity.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Being abducted by aliens was bad enough. Finding out I was headed to a breeding zoo? Worse.
The so-called Titans are nothing like the little green men from movies. They are massive, beautiful, and terrifying—especially their captain. Hard, callous, and cruel, he commands fear from his crew. After an attempted mutiny leaves him poisoned, he comes to me for help.
He promises to return me to Earth if I heal him. The catch? The cure requires using my body for an entire night.
I should refuse. I should run. But something in his touch makes my pulse race, and I can’t ignore the pull between us.
Will one night bind me to him forever, or will I walk away with my freedom intact?

Our take
Ruby Dixon’s Ice Planet Barbarians (4.6 out of 5 stars on Amazon) kicks off the wildly addictive sci-fi romance series. Stranded on a frozen alien world, Georgie’s only hope is Vektal—a massive, horned native who insists she’s his mate. Steamy, funny, and full of danger, this is the cult-favorite romance readers can’t stop talking about.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Being abducted by aliens sounded like the worst thing that could happen to me. I was wrong.
Now I’m stranded on a frozen, dangerous planet after my captors’ ship breaks down, left with a handful of other terrified human women. The only native I’ve met is enormous, blue, horned, and far too interested in me.
Vektal saves my life, insists I’m his mate, and makes it clear he plans to keep me. He is protective, possessive, and way too tempting for my own good. But between deadly cold, alien predators, and no rescue in sight, I might have to rely on him to survive.
And maybe, just maybe, I’m starting to like the idea of being claimed by my barbarian.

When a rival warlord challenges Vork with Evie as the prize, the stakes turn deadly. To keep her, Vork must risk everything, including his life.
In Vork, the first book in the Mail-Order Brides of Crakair series, passion meets danger in a scorching alien romance with a guaranteed happily ever after.

Far from Earth, the planet Nevia faces a crisis: its amphibious rulers are running out of iron, their most vital resource. Their solution is simple and ruthless. Using technology that can strip iron from anything—stone, machinery, even human blood—they set their sights on Earth.
The attack is swift and devastating. Pittsburgh is obliterated, thousands are dead, and three human captives are taken aboard the alien ship. Among them is Conway Costigan, an undercover operative for the Triplanetary Patrol.
Trapped deep within enemy territory, Costigan must turn impossible odds into humanity’s only hope. The fate of every man, woman, and child on Earth depends on one man’s courage and ingenuity.
Before Star Wars or Star Trek, there was E. E. “Doc” Smith’s epic vision of intergalactic war.

What could possibly go wrong when printable designer drugs meet religion, guilt, and a scientist trying to outrun her own worst idea?
Afterparty
Dystopian · Hard Sci-Fi
Our take
What could possibly go wrong when printable designer drugs meet religion, guilt, and a scientist trying to outrun her own worst idea? In Afterparty, Lyda Rose gets dragged into a chaotic chase across North America after a mind-altering drug she helped create sparks a new church and a trail of destruction. With rogue science, hallucinations, and a very bad problem getting worse by the minute, this is a sharp sci-fi thriller that feels clever, strange, and a little too plausible.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A scientist goes on a mind-bending, violent chase across North America to save civilization from her creation in this science fiction thriller.
It begins in Toronto, in the years after the smart drug revolution. Any high school student with a chemjet printer and internet connection can download recipes and print drugs, or invent them. A seventeen-year-old street girl finds God through a new brain-altering drug called Numinous, used as a sacrament by a new Church that preys on the underclass. But she is arrested and put into detention, and without the drug, commits suicide.
Lyda Rose, another patient in that detention facility, has a dark secret: she was one of the original scientists who developed the drug. With the help of an ex-government agent and an imaginary, drug-induced doctor, Lyda sets out to find the other three survivors of the five who made the Numinous in a quest to set things right . . .
Praise for Afterparty
"I can't recommend this novel highly enough!" —Nancy Kress, Hugo Award–winning author of Probability Space
"This taut, brisk, gripping narrative, dazzlingly intercut with flashbacks and sidebars, oozes warmth and wit. A hugely entertaining, surprising and perhaps prophetic package that, without seeming to, raises profound questions about the human mind and the nature of perception." —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Hard Time
Historical Fantasy · Sci-Fi · Time Travel
Our take
Jodi Taylor’s Hard Time thrusts rookie misfits Luke, Jane, and Matthew into the Time Police’s most dangerous mission yet. With temporal tourism spiraling out of control, these untested recruits must stop the greatest threat to history itself. Fast-paced, hilarious, and brimming with charm, this is perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Jasper Fforde, and Doctor Who.
Choose your retailer
About the book
History is under constant threat from those foolish enough to try to change it. Temporal tourism is booming, offering the rich and reckless a chance to meddle in the past. It is illegal, dangerous, and extremely profitable—and the Time Police are determined to shut it down.
When their top agents are taken out, replacements are needed immediately. Enter Team Weird: Luke, Jane, and Matthew, three rookie officers still in training and not exactly by-the-book. They might lack polish, but their creativity and nerve may be exactly what is needed.
In Hard Time, Jodi Taylor delivers another witty, fast-paced adventure in the Time Police series, where the fate of history rests in the hands of the most unlikely heroes imaginable.
